I mean, what exactly are the implications of saying that mobile phones are eroding our sense of community and etiquette? What does it imply when we say that mobile phones undermine self-reliance? All of these things are historically White, middle and upper-middle class Protestant values that have served to advantage some and not others. For every person who has succeeded because of her hard work, there is someone who failed because of his laziness. For each topic absent from polite conversation, there is a history erased. For every cherished community member, there is a condemned outsider.
